TN NWR - Duck River Unit
Humphreys County

Two male blue grosbeaks fighting over unseen female in wheat/vetch field in
pool 10 at the end of Refuge Lane. Also observed 15 bobolinks which were also
first of year birds for me. Came across four exhausted long-billed dowitchers
resting on riprap on 1/2 levee. Got some good pictures of them. Scattered
dickcissels were also seen which were the first for me this year.
Several us have been commenting on what would appear to be unusually large
numbers of goldfinch. Observing twenty plus is not unusual and I have had a
few reports of a hundred plus birds. Anyone else seeing this?
